The Lodge offers many activities from serene to adventurous, including swimming, tubing, kayaking, fishing, hiking and biking. In addition to the options below, there are many areas around the farm to set up an art easel or simply sit with a book and enjoy the view.
Cowpasture River
One of Virginia’s most beautiful rivers is the Cowpasture. The Lodge has a real “swimming hole” to romp in. The five foot deep pool makes it a family favorite and there’s a steady supply of skipping stones to bounce across the calm surface. Float downstream in an inner-tube, go paddling in our kayaks, or just dangle your feet from our deck and breathe the clean mountain air.
For the serious fisherman or weekend angler, the Lodge offers miles of clean river teeming with fish. The Cowpasture holds a large population of smallmouth bass, and there are also rock bass just right for the kids to catch. Rainbow trout are stocked in the early spring, making the Lodge a fisherman’s destination.
Hiking & Biking
There are miles of hiking trails through these wooded mountains, some gentle, others more vigorous. Some trails climb up to 3000 feet for views of mountain tops that roll on forever, while others wander through mature stands of timber with carpets of ferns and wild flowers. Birders will find a wide variety of habitat right outside the front door and wildlife watchers, who show some patience and stealth, will be more than rewarded. For the intrepid spelunker there are numerous wild limestone caves in the area just waiting to be explored.
If bicycling is your passion, you’ll enjoy taking the winding roads through this rural countryside. Mountain bikers can tackle logging roads and trails into wilder country.
Your innkeeper will be happy to help you plan a day afield with customized maps and directions.
So, pack some comfortable clothes, your smartphone and your sense of adventure!
